ASPEN Aspen Fuels are alkylate-based fuels, which are among the cleanest and most stable gasoline products that can be produced. As clean high-octane gasoline, Aspen provides a much better user-experience and extends the life of 2-cycle and 4-cycle power equipment. Over 30 years ago, Aspen first developed alkylate fuel with the mission to improve the conditions for equipment operators. Aspen Fuels are ethanol-free and engineered to be virtually free of the other harmful substances that are found in other gasoline products such as sulfur, benzene, toluene and other aromatic hydrocarbons. By removing these components, Aspen burns cleaner and is gentle on the metal, plastic and rubber components in power equipment. Professionals are among the primary users of Aspen 2 and Aspen 4 as they have the most to benefit from a cleaner high-performance fuel. The cleaner ethanol-free formulation minimizes the amount of deposits in the combustion chamber, valves and exhaust system for longer-lasting engines and reduced downtime. Dealer service departments can also greatly benefit from Aspen’s advantages for their shop use and ensure that serviced equipment starts up whenever needed. Aspen is the premier fuel choice for running and storing small engine equipment, including new and older snow blowers. Aspen’s formulation will help start engines, even under frigid conditions, and significantly reduce the toxic and irritating odors and fumes that operators are exposed to throughout the winter season. In the U.S., Aspen Fuels are available to dealers through Oscar Wilson Engine & Parts (Midwest), Power Equipment Systems (Western), John E Landis Co. (Northeast and Mid-Atlantic) and Marr Brothers (South Central).
